Noah vs Zimbru: team news and expert analysis
The club from Yerevan achieved a "golden double" in 2025. They couldn't defend their maiden league title the following year, finishing second, but managed to win the cup again. Their unbeaten run in friendly matches has now carried over to European competitions.
The team from Chișinău is a historic national powerhouse that was prominent even in Soviet times. However, since 2000, they've not won another championship, and last season they finished third. This year also started shakily, with only one win so far. They drew with Sireț, but managed to beat Politehnica over the weekend.
In Moldova, the home side managed to open the scoring just before halftime. They clearly hoped to hold onto a 1-0 lead, but conceded an equalizer in the 88th minute. Both sides lacked the strength and time to change the score again.
